[Anonymous]

O2 have confirmed that they will be stocking the new Blackberry Classic but only plan to market them for business customers.

Why?

Thanks for sharing that Nick.

Why indeed ! 😒

Seems very shortsighted to me. A decision destined to stir up trouble I think. I would rather they didn't stock it all than differentiate between who should and should not have it...:smileysad:

Some more information on this handset here via Source : Stuff.

BlackBerry Classic launches in States with UK shipments starting in mid-January

Also this article from the BBC website about the Blackberry Classic. Apparently its selling point is it is 'going back to its roots'

I remain confused as to why this popular phone will only be available to business customers?

They could possibly make it available later. they should really rethink their marketing strategy.

Maybe @Toby @MainaP or @Marjo will be able to shed a little more light on the decision once more information is available.
